Chapter 31 Waiting to See the Show



Chapter 31 Waiting to See the Show

It was obviously a warm June day, but the large bedroom made people feel chilly to the bone.

Ben looked at her. His cold gaze was charming.

He slowly raised his hand, pulled off his tie, and threw it on the couch. Then he slowly stepped towards

Claudia, with his gaze somber and cold.

Claudia shuddered at the thought of how furious he was the last time she saw him...

At that moment, he deliberately reined in his anger and gloomy look. His taut lips and stern eyes were

unusually frightening.

“Is Conrad asleep?”

He suddenly spoke, his voice low and cold.

Claudia froze but nodded.

Ben looked at her from above, and the look in his eyes looked gloomy, scary, and cold.

Claudia vaguely sensed that something was wrong, so she felt very confused and quickly lowered her

eyes.

She thought to herself what was wrong with him somehow.

“Has Hanna been here lately?” Ben continued to speak. His low, raspy voice sounded somber.

Claudia's brow furrowed, then she ducked her head at her instinct.

She remembered Hanna had come by a few times.

“You don't really like her coming here?” He asked again.

Claudia froze for a moment, and her beautiful lashes fluttered slightly.

Ben gazed at her. His sullen eyes looked chilly. Then he suddenly cupped her chin, “Answer me!”

She looked at him. Her peaceful eyes looked calm.

“You can't talk, but you can type.” Ben glanced at the cell phone on the couch, picked it up in a flash,

then tossed it to her.

Claudia was slightly stunned. After picking up the phone, she didn't know what to say.

She did resist Hanna at her instinct and heard those people talking. If what they said was true, then

Conrad would...

Looking at her calm face, Ben somehow furrowed his brows, turned around, and said coldly, “Get out!”

Claudia sighed slightly and then headed out of the bedroom. Her footsteps became heavy, as if her

heart also sank.

Early the next morning, Ben changed his clothes. He was buttoning his shirt cufflinks as he walked

outside. As he passed the study, he looked over the half-open door and stopped in his tracks.

On the desk inside the room, Claudia was sleeping on her stomach while the computer next to her was

still on.

She looked like she had been here all night.

Ben stepped inside. He woke Claudia as he browsed through the files.

She rubbed her eyes in panic, looked at the time, and hurriedly got up to check Conrad, but Ben held

her wrist in a flash.

His deep eyes glanced at the webpage on the computer screen, and he narrowed his eyes, “Why are

you looking into this?”

Claudia looked at the webpage and was stunned.

The webpage showed the explanation and treatment of “STD”, and small windows of advertisements

for specialist consultation kept popping up.

“Why are you looking into this?”

Ben's deep eyes were gloomy. He was fine and healthy, so why was she looking up all this?

He looked like he was offended by the words that made a man most intolerable. He was also

overreacting a bit. Claudia lowered her gaze in embarrassment and thought for a moment before

reaching for her phone and typing in a few words, but she typed those words over and over again. And

she didn't know where to start.

If Claudia told him the truth, it would seem like she was slandering Hanna behind her back, which was

the last thing she wanted to do. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

However, if she didn't tell him the truth, then Ben would definitely suspect her. After all, it was about

STD, and what if they had any more misunderstandings because of it?

Claudia was in a dilemma and torn on the inside.

Ben was already waiting impatiently. Checking the time on his wristwatch, he urged, “Tell me!”

At the same time, he grabbed her phone.

Claudia was startled. However, he had already seen the one word she typed on the phone screen -

Hanna.

Ben's dark eyes blinked slightly, “What's wrong with Hanna? Does this have something to do with her?”

She pursed her lips in embarrassment. It came to a point that she had no choice but to confess.

Claudia took the phone and typed in the details, “I met Miss Lewis at the hospital's department of

reproductive medicine the other day, and I saw some rash on her arm...”

Ben looked at the text on the screen. His imperceptible eyes looked somber and deep. After a few

moments of silence, he said, “Hmm.” Then he turned and walked away.

Seeing him indifferently walk away, Claudia was uneasy. She had the feeling that she was talking

behind someone's back...

Just thinking about it, the voice of the nanny downstairs came to her ears, “Mrs. Crawford, Miss Lewis

is here!”

As the proverb said, “Speak of the devil.”

Hanna brought some desserts that she baked for Claudia. Conrad sat in her arms, his naughty little

hands stirring her long hair.

Claudia hurriedly picked up the baby and shook her head at him, and Conrad grinned mischievously.

“It's okay. It's normal for boys to be naughty!” Hanna reached out and rubbed Conrad's tender little

cheek.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eyes, Claudia noticed the red rashes on Hanna's wrist, which

seemed to get worse than before!

Probably seeing Claudia's gaze, Hanna hastily retracted her hand and explained, “I don't know what's

going on with my wrist lately. I think I'm allergic to something!”

She nodded. The conversation she had heard in the party bathroom reverberated in her mind. She felt

inwardly puzzled and wondered if Amber could get that disease...

On the other side of town, in a private room of a luxurious women's spa, Amber was lying on her back

and enjoying a Thai back massage by a masseuse.

The two young women lying beside her were Amber's besties.

“Amber, you're amazing. Your trick this time works really great! You're killing two birds with one stone !”

One of the young women said.

Amber cocked her head, her red lips looking bright, “Of course! Who would have thought that trick or

two would let Hanna and Claudia fall into a trap?”

With these two women out of her way, Ben would be hers alone. And she wanted to see who would

dare get in the way!

Seeming to think of something, the corner of Amber's mouth lifted into a sneer, “Wait and see! The

good show is still yet to come. Without anyone to make a move this time, Ben won't even want that little

mute anymore!”

“Are you really so sure?” One of her friends asked.

Amber smiled coldly, “Of course! I'm absolutely sure. Not only this little mute but also that Hanna will be

over!”

Amber was so sure of this plan and had great confidence about it.

“Well, then we'll be waiting to see the show!”

After several women looked at each other, they worked out a scheme in the room.

In the Crawford mansion, since Claudia was pregnant, she had to undergo regular medical checkups

every month, an order given by Winifred.

And now in order to take care of her baby, Claudia did not refuse to keep doing so.

In the afternoon, the doctor examined her as usual. After the doctor left, Claudia took Conrad for a walk

in the park.

Ben had just finished a board meeting at the company. As soon as he returned to his office, Nate came

in and said, “Mr. Crawford, Dr. Lincoln said he had emailed Mrs. Crawford's medical report to you and

reminded you to check your email.”

“Alright!”

After hearing that one cold word, Nate consciously turned around and left.

Ben sat down and clicked on the computer.

Looking at the medical examination report that had just been emailed to him, he only took a glance at

it, and then his eyes darkened.

Then, he raised his hand to dial a number on the phone, “Nate, call the head of the Central Hospital

and ask him to pull up Hanna's medical records of the past two days in that hospital, and then send

them to me ASAP.”

After hanging up the phone, Ben leaned back in his leather chair. His gloomy cold eyes, as deep as the

sea, made people wonder what was going on.
